What We Verify & When

Depending on your activity, you may encounter different verification checkpoints.

Identity Verification

Payment Verification

Triggered during checkout or subscription changes. We verify card validity, billing address, and use 3D Secure to prevent fraud.

Assessment Integrity

During proctored exams, we verify your environment, monitor for unauthorized tools, and ensure all work is completed independently.

Instructor Verification

All educators undergo background checks, credential validation, and teaching capability reviews before publishing courses.

Your Data Is Encrypted & Protected

We use AES-256 encryption for all stored data and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Verification documents are processed through SOC 2 compliant vendors and automatically purged after validation. We never sell your data, and you can request deletion at any time. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Common Questions

Most verifications are completed automatically within 30 seconds to 2 minutes. In rare cases requiring manual review, it may take up to 24 hours.

If verification fails, you'll receive clear instructions on how to resolve it. Common fixes include re-upholding a clearer ID photo, ensuring good lighting for selfies, or contacting support with a secondary document.

Basic identity verification is only required when you complete a course and request an official certificate. You can browse and learn without verifying first.

During checkout, we may place a temporary micro-charge ($0.00-$1.00) to verify card ownership. This is instantly refunded and processed by our secure payment partners like Stripe.
